The one thing about home renovation and design is that it is constantly changing. New ideas are forever evolving, some stick, some don\u2019t and others go in and out of fashion.<\/p>\n
Wallpaper is one of those design influences that has had many reappearances and seems once again to be back on the home renovator\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n
At one point in time, wallpaper was seen in almost every home, however once outdated, it was quick to be removed by any new homeowners.<\/p>\n
Today, many homeowners are skipping a fresh coat of paint for something more flamboyant. Wallpaper can easily convert a bland space into something magical. It can be a cost effective and rapid transformation to any room.<\/p>\n
If you are tentative about using wallpaper in your home, introduce it initially to small areas such as a powder room or walk in wardrobe. It is also wise to try first before you commit fully to a wallpaper design. You can start by buying just one roll (generally under $100) to see if it feels right in your home.<\/p>\n
When wallpapering a large room, you can get away with wallpapering the whole room rather than just a feature wall. A large-scale design can give a room an intimate feel. A small space can be made to feel larger when using a small-scale patterned paper.
\nWallpaper can work in any home, be it a modern, contemporary home, a Hamptons design or an older property, there is a wallpaper to suit every style. The use of a textured wall paper such as grasscloth can add warmth to a contemporary home, where as a modern home may use bold colours and patterns to complete their look.<\/p>\n
When contemplating using wallpaper in your home, it\u2019s important to ensure that any pattern you choose, doesn\u2019t conflict with your furnishings. If you have a patterned lounge, cushions or curtains, using a patterned wallpaper would be too much, it would be best to stick to something plain or consider painting the walls instead. However, if you\u2019ve got plain furnishings, use wallpaper to your advantage. Use wallpaper borders and shapes to create a bold statement.<\/p>\n
The range of wallpaper is bigger than ever before, you can be brave and choose something bright and bold happy in the knowledge that you can change it when you tire of it, or a design that is timeless and won\u2019t date easily may be more suited to you.<\/p>\n
Whichever way you go, it is important to plan ahead. Whilst you might be working on one specific room, what is the plan for the rest of the house? You don\u2019t want old clashing with new, and if you choose to use wallpaper in every room, ensure that there are some elements that tie your home together, whether it be d\u00e9cor, colour scheme or style theme.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve chosen your perfect print, the next thing to consider is installation. Whilst it may look easy enough, installing wallpaper isn\u2019t as easy as it looks. It\u2019s a job that is best left to the professionals, but if budget doesn\u2019t allow for this, look at a wallpaper that is ready pasted. The paper comes with an adhesive back that you wet and then carefully attach to the wall.<\/p>\n
